Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

It feels like the amount of both, divisive posts and ghoulish comments is rising again.

One could argue that the world has a lot of divisive stuff going on and lemmy just talks about it. But the way people post about stuff seems more oot and hateful than it has been in the past.

Not saying it is that but if I wanted to bring the Fediverse down or at least keep my customers from going there, I would sow this stuff as much as I can.

I'm blocking ghouls left right and center atm but if I ever asked a friend to join lemmy, I'd hate to think of what they would see that I dont anymore.

Do we need stronger moderation?

Maybe ban politics from c/memes?
Become a little more stringent on "dont be a jerk" rules in communities?

One thing that really bothers me is the collapsing "discourse". Trying to mend fences and keep the conversation between sides going ime leads to nothing but downvotes and shitstorm.

I feel like a little more interaction (instead of intervention, at first) of the moderators would do wonders there.

Thanks for reading this rant. Have a nice day.

Stamets is the worst kind of power user. Spams garbage everywhere, argues with everyone. Fragile as glass.

Ok honestly thank you for that. I kind of gathered that from his pretty much only shitposting and attitude in his comments. Idk why but being banned because of him really bugged me.

Yeah you're not crazy. He is provocative and cries transphobia when called out for it. Then deletes the comments that make him look bad.

Which of course don’t show up in the modlog either.

They also have an admin that looks out for them as well, gave them 4 communities that they were the mod of. Had them defend the mod saying the “logs are public” got banned for asking them for the link…….

They also have multiple accounts that have even had their own bannings from other mods. And this person wants to claim the high ground during every interaction by going straight to the modlogs? What a pathetic standard Lemmy is setting here.
